Pellegrini

“The most important thing was to ensure we returned to our winning style of football, and then we knew we’d get a good result.  The team really performed well out there tonight; our defence remained tight with the rival not able to get anywhere near our goal area, and the boys moved well around the pitch.  We’ve returned to our creative style of football, which enables us to get good results like this.”
 
“It’s a special day for all the ‘Malagueños’.  Few have achieved what Sebastián Viberti did here, which is why he’s considered a hero at this Club and throughout the entire city.  We’re dedicating this victory, not just from the players, but from everyone in Málaga, to his family and friends, and may he rest in peace.”
 

Saviola

“I’m really pleased with our performance.  Scoring goals is obviously crucial, and the way in which the entire team played tonight was brilliant.”
 

Isco

“This is a great win for us, and I’d even go as far as to say it’s the best match we’ve played so far this season.  We performed well and are very happy with the result.”
 

Camacho

“We really needed to win this match to get our confidence back, particularly at home.  To get a score like that against a big team like Valencia is a great achievement.  The whole team played fantastic football tonight.”
